Quote:Why God should be blamed for what people do?I didn't say God should be blamed for what people do. I am pointing out that if God is going to get involved at all, it would be better to intercede at the point where people do not get hurt or cause others to suffer unnecessarily. God waits until it's far too late to avoid or stop the suffering, THEN dishes out a one-hell-fits-all style of punishment. Which is useless and stupid.
Quote:You never thought of that Ton, did you?Of course not. Why would I ascribe such idiotic motives and stupid thinking to a person or concept that is supposed to embody justice?
The real question is-- why did YOU ever think of that?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
